Teresa Palmer is doing her bit for charity.

The 33-year-old actress took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photo of herself modelling a white T-shirt printed with the definition of the word 'literacy'.

The T-shirt is helping to raise funds to improve literacy levels in Indigenous communities across Australia.

'Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander children are three times less likely to meet the national minimum standard for reading and writing, which seems incredibly unfair considering the opportunities afforded to those with even basic literacy skills,' she captioned the photo. 

'Every single day I read and write; for work, for knowledge, with my children, or even just to know I’m walking in to the right toilet!'

She added: 'Literacy can shape us into great authors or researchers, creatives or academics; literacy is everywhere.'
